yum broken

[Spencer Kellis]

yes, I did do that, but I got the same errors afterwards.

the reason I'm working on rpm is that I downloaded an rpm of rpm, and ran
rpm -i rpm... to install it and got a list of a bunch of dependencies like
/bin/bash, /bin/sh, etc. that are obviously installed... so that's why i'm
trying to fix rpm first.

sorry to chris for the double post - i keep forgetting to reply to the list
instead of the poster. :)
